Most organizations believe they have identity security under control — but in reality, they’re operating with ambiguity, over-permissioned access, and fragile policies that only work on paper. In this episode, we break down how to move from identity sprawl and “heroic” incident response to a boring, disciplined, and effective security loop. You’ll learn how to pay down identity debt, reduce blast radius, and turn conditional access from a blunt execution engine into clear, enforceable policy —

In this episode, we explore why many data teams mistakenly treat their data models as objective truth—and how this misconception leads to flawed decision-making. The conversation dives into modern analytics stacks, the limitations of “fabric” or centralized data models, and why context, ownership, and intent matter just as much as the data itself. Key Themes & TopicsThe Myth of the “Single Source of Truth”Why most teams over-trust their data modelsHow abstraction layers can hide assumptions and

2025/12/27

In this episode, we dive headfirst into one of the most quietly painful problems in modern data platforms: identity chaos. As organizations scale their analytics environments, especially within lakehouse architectures, identity, access control, and governance tend to sprawl faster than anyone wants to admit. The result is entropy. Confusing permissions, brittle security models, duplicated identities, and a growing gap between data teams and governance teams. This conversation explores how Microsoft

Everything is green. Policies are enabled. Dashboards are stable. Audit logs reconcile.So why does governance still drift? In this episode, we replay the same Microsoft 365 tenant, the same retention policies, and the same discovery queries—again and again—until we uncover the hidden truth: correct outcomes can still mask behavioral change. Creation compresses. Survival shortens. Discovery stabilizes on a shrinking corpus. This is not a failure story.It’s a story about meaning drifting while

Your data estate isn’t broken — it’s fragmented. Dashboards sip from stale pools, pipelines struggle upstream, and datamarts sit like isolated organisms unable to thrive. In this episode, we explore how Microsoft Fabric reconstructs the entire habitat: unifying data, governance, domains, and AI assistance into one living ecosystem. OneLake becomes the watershed. Domains evolve into territories. Workspaces become nests. Lakehouses and Warehouses form the shelters where different species flourish. And
